[86] what a nice feeling to be in love with GOD.
no pain, no heartache, no disappointment.
just blessings and joy!

[87] life gains meaning if we:
survive hurts of the past;
live the present fully;
view the future with hope;
and make God the center of our life.

[88] many times, the things we complain about
are the good things.
we grumble about having too much work
while others don't even have one.
we complain waking up early in the morning
while others don't even have a reason to live.
we stress about gaining weight
while others don't even have food on their tables.
everyday, the Lord fills our lives with so much goodness.
all we need to do is open our eyes
and give thanks for each of them.

[89] when a song ends,
you could just repeat it every time you like;
when the movie ends,
you can just wait after the trailers to start it again;
when the rain ends,
sure it'll come back soon.
but when special moments have gone,
you don't even know if you can rewind it,
repeat it or hope for it to happen again.
there's nothing in this world as precious as time.
so enjoy every second of it, while it lasts.

[90] i am weak, but my God is strong.
i don't have all, but I have Him.
though i'm tired, I know He's not tired of loving me.
and that's enough inspiration for me to face each day.
cause i'm just someone imperfect
but loved by a perfect God.
